I usually don't wear nail polish and I don't have very long nails but when I do I usually prefer pinks or dark reds, not bright red or any bright color for that matter, and not black, I don't need the "goth" look. My philosophy about nail polish is the same as my philosophy about lipstick, nothing too flashy or loud! Something a little more subtle. I usually purchase Revlon or Estee Lauder nail polish.

OPI just came out with a new French(opps FREEDOM) manicure line for the summer. They are Bridal colors. They are beautiful!!!!!!
A good way to acheive that look is to buy white polish such as what is used on the tips of .........umm Freedom manicures. Polish the whole nail with the white in a very light coat. Then polish with the sheer color. It has a very pretty effect.
Or.....I just now painted mine with a beautiful pale pink that is new.. It is by Creative Nail....called "Gotcha". I love it!!!

Actually I have been searching for the perfect opaque nail polish in a pale pink. The kind you see on people with Acrylic nails. I have tried several brands but they all seem to be so "thin" that I never get the opaque look without having to apply 3-4 coats and then its a mess. I always see the color advetised with nail polish ads but the polish being sold never seems to live up to expectations. I have not tried any from OPI line, does anyone have any suggestions?
OK, this is somewhat obscure, but my favorite nail color is a Limited Edition color that Revlon issued a couple years ago. 2000 or 2001. It was called 'Witty' and it was this amazing combination of pink and bronze and gold. It looked different in different shades of light and from different angles. When I wore it, I couldn't stop looking at my nails all day!
I do still have it, but it's turned really thick and takes forever to dry and chips easily. Maybe I could thin it out with a drop of remover. I wish I had bought 2 bottles, and saved one to keep fresh.
I'm also a big fan of OPI 'Chick Flick Cherry'. It's the perfect toenail shade. Not too bright, not too brown. And it lasts forever. My 3 year old bottle of OPI is still as good as new, and it lasts about a week on your nails without chipping.

I'm interested to know what your favorite nail colour is.
Personally, I adore Rouge Noir by Christian Dior. It's like a very deep red, almost black. I saw a rose that colour once. It's a very rare colour in nature but CD have synthezied it and bottled it for our pleasure and delectation. No one messes with you when you wear it - it says "I am in a seriously seductive mood. You stand no chance against me." You have to eat lobster, chocolate and the best red wine when you wear it. Very brazen. An aphrodisiac nail colour.
